Khaitan & Co partner Joyjyoti Misra will become the new India general counsel (GC) of global taxi 2.0 giant Uber, after the former Uber India GC Mohit Abraham moved to San Francisco in July to become legal director for regulatory and the Americas.
Misra's resigning from the partnership was internally announced at Khaitan today, and according to authoritative sources he will succeed Abraham as Uber's India GC, although no formal announcement has been made.
Misra did not respond to phone calls and messages seeking comment today.
Khaitan HR
The 2005 NUJS Kolkata graduate Misra (the same alma mater and batch as Abraham), had begun his career at begun his career at Luthra & Luthra in Mumbai for four months, moved to Amarchand Mangaldas in 2005, and joined Khaitan in 2010 where he was made partner in 2010.
Abraham had joined Uber in June 2015, also from Khaitan & Co where he was a partner.
We reached out to Abraham for comment last week but have had no response.
In May, Uber's global GC Salle Yoo's role (and/or job title) was changed to chief legal officer, as an increasing number of complex legal issues beset the company that has long prided itself globally on driving rather closely to existing laws and restrictions in the often highly-regulated taxi space.

Triple Aces would always be CAM, AZB & SAM, and in that order too :-) So live with it, peace out.
P.s. it’s law school for your minions, work harder to make it in life or your company.
On ex CAMites or people from other institutions, definitely they are welcome and there is a reason kco continues to be attractive to them. Similarly many ex KCO are in CAM and doing really well - Atman, Vandana being point in case.
Probably you need to check market data for the CM work done till date - definitely you would have heard about Mr Kulkarni and Mr Bassi.
Just wanted to point out that "Quality of drafting very poor" is a poorly drafted sentence. As is "Only undercuts on billing helps them".
Can't you get Amarchand to conduct a language skills workshop for you?
By the way, I would love to hear you say "mate" and "peace out" in your Indian accent.
